The Curse of the Full Moon
PURPLE NIGHTSHADE BLOSSOMS
=
The were-sickness is curable by eating Purple Nightshade Blossoms . These flowers are found exclusively in the Grimvale dungeon. To obtain Purple Nightshade Blossoms, go into the Grimvale dungeon by falling down the Pitfall at the north-east of the island. In this dungeon, there are 3 Blooming Purple Nightshades to harvest from:
* From the start, head south and follow the cave south-east, where in the next room you will find the first flower ().
* Head west to the end of the cave and drop down the pitfall to the next floor. Walk north to find the second flower ().
* Head east and follow the path south-east to find the third flower (). When you harvest Purple Nightshade Blossoms you will receive the message:
: However, you can only harvest these during full moons because when it is not a full moon, you will see Purple Nightshades in place of the Blooming Purple Nightshades. Attempting to harvest a non-blooming Purple Nightshade will display a server message:
: Note that there's a 30-minute cooldown per location to harvest new nightshades, however you will only need blossoms during full moons because the symptoms of were-sickness are only exhibited during these days. That is, if you cannot harvest blossoms because of the world state, the NPCs will react as if you aren't sick. After harvesting Purple Nightshade Blossoms three times, deliver them to Maeryn by saying nightshade.
IN ORDER TO ENTER FEROXA'S LAIR, YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO HELP THE CITIZEN OF GRIMVALE BY KILLING 50 WERE-CREATURES. THE NUMBER OF CREATURES YOU HAVE KILLED WILL BE REGISTERED IN YOUR [[QUEST LOG]] IN CASE YOU NEED TO CHECK.
= Obtaining the Liquid Silver Trap
FEROXA
= After having delivered 3 Purple Nightshade Blossoms and killed 50 were-creatures, you will have access to Feroxa's lair. The lair will open when the raid starts on the 13th of every month, and it can start at any time between the Server Save and 12 hours after it. At her first human stage you need to fight her with normal attacks, both spell and physical. When you reduce her health to about half, she will transform into her werewolf form. In this second phase she is immune to almost everything except for Silvered Traps and Life Drain damage. When Feroxa walks on these traps, she will be damaged for 1,000 health points and the traps will vanish. The traps can be stacked and she does not heal, so it's a matter of having enough traps to bring the boss to half health. As an alternative, sorcerers and druids can summon either Gozzlers or Ghouls to deal Life Drain damage, but this process takes a lot longer. At half health, she will change into her killable werewolf form. Now you must attack her with all your firepower. When she reaches 0 health she will either turn into her weak human form or her gloom wolf form, both of which are quite weak and must be taken down with sheer firepower. You will receive two sets of loot for the whole battle. Only the final form of Feroxa (Gloom Wolf) will grant you a kill count in the Bosstiary.
CORMAYA
= The were-sickness has also reached Cormaya, and Daniel Steelsoul wants you to help Yoem with it. Travel to the small island and talk to him at the center of the village about the curse. Yoem suspects that the village's water supply is being tainted, and will ask you to investigate the Last Sanctum however, to access it, you must perform a ritual in the Grimvale dungeon first. Go back to Edron, find Cornell north of Stonehome and ask him for passage to Grimvale.thumb|right|This puzzle configuration seems to have some meaning. If any levers are pulled at this configuration, a will be heard.
Go down , and down twice more to the fourth floor, you'll be in the ruins where you must solve the 5x5 puzzle in the center room, . Pull each lever to move the white tile south of it and create a V-shape starting at the top, as pictured. After that, pull any other lever. You will hear a noise, at which point an array of light will shoot downward from the roof and the white tiles will return to the top. Now you can enter the Last Sanctum, which is behind a Mystic Flame in a dungeon east of the village in Cormaya, . It is also inhabited by were-sick creatures. Follow the cave to the south-west and go down the . Go to the room to the north, where you'll find some Statues. When approaching the water, you'll receive a message about how the water is being tainted by the magical statues that were built there. Report this to Yoem (say curse), he will instruct to seek the help of the wizards from Edron. Again, find Milos and tell him about your discoveries. : Milos will explain to you his theory that the cure is not working because the were-creatures have tampered the Ley Lines that meet under Cormaya. In order to fix this, you must remove the curse that has been applied to them by using a Golden Symbol of Suon on the other end of the Ley Line, which is marked by a Dark Stone Totem. There are three Ley Lines: one towards Krailos, one towards Banuta and one towards Vengoth. This is indicated by the text written on the statues inside the Last Sanctum. thumb|Removing the curse from Banuta's Ley Line
* On Krailos, the Dark Stone Totem is north-east of the village around .
* On Banuta, the Dark Stone Totem is locates inside the southern most building, .
* On Vengoth, the Dark Stone Totem is located west before the Castle's gate, . You should receive this message after using the Suon Symbol next to a totem: : thumb|right
After removing the curse from all 3 totems, go back to the Last Sanctum. You'll notice that now the Water is clean again. Report this discovery to Yoem, who will be pleased with your help and instruct you to talk to Daniel Steelsoul once again. :
AN ANCIENT FEUD
thumb|right|335 px
Talk to Daniel Steelsoul in Edron again to learn about the new developments regarding the were sickness. Ask him about the curse and about lion. He will instruct you to talk to Domizian in Darashia, on the first floor of the building just west of the boat ().
HELP RHARGU
= Follow the path south and go down the hole where you'll find Rhargu. Ask him about the curse. In order to help you, Rhargu will ask for some food. # One Haunch of Boar which you can loot from Boars. # One Hard-Boiled Hydra Egg. Use a regular Hydra Egg on the campfire located in the Hyaena Lairs, .
# Five Lion's Manes. If you don't have them already, you can get 5 from the Stump on top of the entrance to Lion's Rock, .
# Five Salted Cave Rats, for which Rhargu will give you an Empty Cask. ## Leave the Hyaena Lairs, and when back in Darashia buy a Net from Halif and five Salt from Mugluf, at the central market.
## Use the Net on Cave Rats to capture them. Mages can summon and capture those, but if you aren't a mage, just go to a place with many Cave Rats such as Thais' sewers. There's a 20 chance that you'll get a Cave Rat (Item). Use Salt on it to get a Salted Cave Rat. Use it on the Cask to store it there. Once the cask is full with 5 Salted Cave Rats, return to Rhargu. Ask Rhargu again about the curse and deliver the items. You will receive a Lit Torch (Quest) to continue the quest and a Cask (Goblin Zombie) as a reward. (If you lose the torch, say lost torch to Rhargu.) Grimvale Quest - An Ancient Feud Rats 1.png|Failing to capture a Cave Rat

KILL WEREHYAENAS
= Domizian now wants you to kill a total of 300 Werehyaenas and Werehyaena Shamans. Those you have killed so far will already be considered for this mission, so you may have already finished it. If not, return to the lair and kill them, you can follow your progress in your Quest Log. Talk to Domizian again after completing the task.
PARADISE LOST
As the curse continues to spread, it goes further south towards Ankrahmun and Tiquanda. Once again, help is needed in order to fight the were-sickness.
MOSAICS
=
thumb|left At this point you don't know much about the island and your quest log suggests you to explore it. By doing so you'll find a cave with Werepanthers, Werecrocodiles and Feral Werecrocodiles () and another one with Weretigers, Cunning Werepanthers and White Weretigers (). When exploring the latter one you'll find a purple Fog Portal which you can't enter yet. In order to do so you need to find and step on 6 mosaics in the two previously mentioned caves. There's one mosaic in the Werecrocodile cave () and all other five in the Weretiger cave. You can find them below: After walking over every mosaic you'll be granted access to the Fog Portal to get to the next area.
ANCIENT RITUAL
= Meet Domizian again and ask him about the . You learn from him that only those who have strong will and a good heart can control the curse through the use of a complex ancient ritual involving the conjuration and activation of secret moon runes, the playing of two holy instruments and the sacrifice of a creature touched by the curse. For the runes he tells you the aspects of the moon and of the sun should be reconcilied thus the words "SUN AND MOON" should be written with the runes and that king Heliodor should know more about them. For the instruments they shouldn't be mere musical instruments but rather items of great significance: an ocarina made from a scarab shell and a horn made from a conch shell. As for the sacrifice, a were creature that has not yet harmed or even killed someone has to have its life taken for a greater good.
CURSE UNDER CONTROL
=
Return to Niral and inform her of your mission's completion by greeting her and saying . Niral will express gratitude and request that you return the next day. On your return, she will provide a status update. Once 20 hours have passed, you will be able to speak to Niral about the status of the curse and she'll inform you the curse is under control. As a token of appreciation for your efforts, Niral will grant you the following rewards: right
* Toy Ball: a special item that can be used to tame a Foxmouse. Taming the foxmouse will also grant you the Like Fox and Mouse achievement. Note that the foxmouse can sense the curse, even outside of full moon cycles. Cursed characters can not tame it, and should consume Purple Nightshade Blossoms to get rid of the curse before trying. * In the northern area beyond the Foxmouse, there is a room accessible by using a Moonlight Ipomea's Stamen by using it on the twines between the Symbol of Fire and Symbol of Sula (Silver). '''Note: this will consume the Moonlight Ipomea's Stamen.''' Within this room, you will find a Treasure Chest (Oskayaat). Opening the chest presents an opportunity to obtain a Werewolf Painting (Howling), Werewolf Painting (Moon), or other assorted items. For detailed information on the likelihood of obtaining each item, refer to the statistics page. * Access to locked doors: In addition, Niral will bestow upon you the ability to access the previously locked doors within the city of Oskayaat. This privilege allows players to have access to NPCs on the island as well as training statues.
